This project aims to develop novel immobilisation, adsorption and/or thermal destruction methods for biosolids, soil and groundwater in current and legacy per- and poly-fluroalkyl substance (PFAS) sites receiving biosolids. Biosolids generated during waste water treatment carry an unknown potential risk of soil and groundwater PFAS contamination, through their application in agriculture and rehabilitation sites. This project will provide the first major investigation of the release, fate and remediation of perfluorinated compounds in relation to their environmental pathways through wastewater treatment plants in Australia. The data will be evaluated to determine if perfluorinated compounds should be further incorporated into Australian soil and water quality monitoring programs. The project will provide evidence of research advice and methodologies being successfully adopted by water industry end-users, government regulatory agencies and private remediation industries.

该项目旨在开发新的固定化、吸附和/或热破坏方法，用于目前和遗留的接受生物固体的单氟烷基和多氟烷基物质（PFAS）场址的生物固体、土壤和地下水。废水处理过程中产生的生物固体通过在农业和恢复场所的应用，具有未知的土壤和地下水PFAS污染的潜在风险。该项目将通过澳大利亚的废水处理厂对全氟化合物的释放、命运和修复及其环境途径进行首次重大调查。将对这些数据进行评估，以确定是否应将全氟化合物进一步纳入澳大利亚土壤和水质监测方案。该项目将提供证据，证明水务行业最终用户、政府监管机构和私营补救行业成功采用了研究建议和方法。
